Ken, to get that height you are almost locked in to 16 inchers. My rears are only 29.5 high. On the other hand, the 16 inch ones on Dans rpu rear are something like 31 tall, maybe 32. I think they are 7:60 x 16 Firestones. His are blackwall, but he had WW the first time and sold them to buy these, so both are available.

Don

Here Ken, I found the tires he is running, except in WW.

L78 cokers are 29.3" tall Don, I'm pretty sure Dans are 7.50's which are 31" tall.

Ken if you want a tall rear whitewall try either the 890 Firestone at 31", I have them on my 32 and they are nice, or Radir do a 900 which is 32" tall

Is Ken Thurm really going bias?

Is that about the widest is the wide whites? I need as wide as possible, 12" would be great.
Ken

I know of no wide whites that wide, Ken. You might have to make your own. But knowing your capabilities, you will probably be able to do that.

Here are the widest I know of:

Maybe someone like Diamondback make something?

Don

Yep, it looks like Diamondback has one that is 11 inches wide, their 2:75 x 16

I've looked at these at shows and they are NICE!!

Don

Thanks, I thought I had seen them all, I searched using every term I could think of and Diamond back never came up The 17" ones are even wider, but I will check to see if I can get a chrome rim that size.
Thanks again,
Ken

Ken, Radir also do a 12.00 x 15 , have a look here http://www.radirwheels.com/contents.htm
